Name: Nathan Ram. Location: Bay Area (CA-the US). What's so unique abt me? Well, I've not thought much on the above question :). I'm a multi-dimensional person with various interests ranging from Cricket (my first love) to Politics and from News to Spirituality. The only space in the world that lets us spit out everything and get exposed to the world, I think, is blog.... Hence, this blog - More from my posts :)

Proud to have been an Indian Fan - Tribute to a living legend

I'm waiting to hang my boots - watching and following cricket - if and when SachinTendulkar does hang his. The only crowning moment that would have still eluded my eyes since I started to follow cricket (since I had entered my kinder garden) is that of Sachingleaming with a shining World Cup in his hand. It would be more sentimental exit for me than probably it would be for the master himself. More than a cricketer, he has won the hearts of millions and millions of cricket fans across the globe by being an example to man kind. I do not want to analyse his achievements on the field and failures as each and every time he took the field, we, his true fans, believed that we achieved something or the other in our own life. So, we have reached as many milestones in our life as the master has reached in his. At such an age to be in such euphoria - probably the phenomenon occurs once in a century and to have lived parallely through that phase cherishes me the most in my life. Sachin - whatever you have achieved or whatever you have not - the way you took the rise and fall would be a lesson for every legend in the becoming. Whatever happens - we are there behind you and trust us - we are not one among those who booed you in your hometown and finally, when you do leave the field for one last time, it would be a tearful exit from cricket for me as well... I promise...

I was speaking with Guru annaa the other day and we were discussing in length about having wasted a considerable portion of our life in this game and we need to reconsider following the murder of Bob Woolmer and the Indin loss... Understandably, it was a tough decision to make and I did make it with a heavy heart... As you said, I hope I will get something else to fill in the void...

About Me

I want to be remembered as an out-reaching person... I talk as much as I could and it is the other person's responsibility to contain me from talking if they would like to. I love cricket as much as I love my mom and Sachin Tendulkar is a demi-god according to me. I'm out spoken and I like being around people rather than waste time alone... I keep reading whatever I could ranging from Sports news to Tamil Nadu and Indian Politics and from CNN to thatstamil.
